This Morning host Phillip Schofield has hit out at ITV for censoring Adele’s acceptance speech at the BRITs last week, claiming he doesn’t want to be "nannied". The TV presenter has criticised BRIT bosses for playing “safe” with the programming after they bleeped out part of the popstar's thank yous.
